Privacy Notice
We have published this privacy notice to describe what information we collect, what we do with it and to explain your rights.
This policy may change periodically so please visit this page for the latest version. It was last updated on 3rd July 2018.
Who is the data controller?
The data controller is Si Novi Limited, company number 11370658, registered in England & Wales.
Our registration reference with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is ZA437640.
We operate in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), EU 2016/679.
How do we obtain your personal data?
Si Novi may acquire your personal data in a variety of ways, including:
- From your registration onto our software applications or internal systems
- From data you supply while working together during commissioned projects, or during new business activities and the act of commissioning new work
- From inbound enquiries via email
- From inbound phone calls where we see the incoming phone number and you pass us information verbally
- From networking activities and events, for example swapping business cards or connecting on Linkedin.
- From recommendations or references about you from others
- From contact from and conversations with our suppliers
- From website analytics
When you give us personal information it should be accurate, and if supplying anyone else's data you must ensure that you have the authority and legal basis to do so.
What personal data is processed?
We may process different types of information about you depending on your relationship and activity with us.
Typically, we will process the following types of personal data:
- Email address
- Name
- Phone numbers
- Home address
- Job title
- Business name and address
- IP addresses
- Social media usernames/handles

- Bank account information
How is your personal information used?
The personal data you give us may be used in a variety of ways:
- Communicating with you as a customer, about new or currently commissioned projects
- Storing in databases or third-party applications for reference by us and our suppliers
- Performing accounts tasks, such as raising and sending invoices
Is your information shared with anyone else?
Your personal data will not be disclosed or sold to anyone outside of Si Novi or our appointed suppliers, without obtaining your prior consent - unless we are required to do so by law.
What is our legal basis for processing your data?
In most cases the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract between Si Novi and you. This is because in most cases we'll be working together or you will be using one of our products or services.
Retention of your personal information
Si Novi will keep your personal data only for as long as it is relevant to the purpose for which it was collected, or for as long as we are required to keep it by law.
Your rights
You have the right to request access to the personal data that we hold about you - this is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). If you wish to make an SAR, please email hello@sinovi.uk. We will respond within 30 days, and provide you with the data we hold about you in an electronic format, generally CSV files. There is no charge for this service, however if your requests become manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, we may charge a fee appropriate to the administrative work required.
You have the right to the deletion or removal of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. To request deletion of your personal data, please email hello@sinovi.uk. We may refuse to comply with a request for erasure in some circumstances, for example in the case of requiring the information as part of a legal obligation, such as our statutory accounts and records.
You have the right to request a rectification of your personal data. To do so, please email hello@sinovi.uk. We will respond within 30 days, although this can be extended by two months if the request for rectification is complex. If we decide not take action in response to a request for rectification, we will explain to you our reasons.
You have the right to suppress or restrict the processing of your personal data. To request this, please email hello@sinovi.uk.
You have the right to data portability, which allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. To request this, please email hello@sinovi.uk. We will respond within 30 days, and provide you with the data we hold about you in a commonly-used electronic format, generally CSV files. This response time can be extended by two months if the request is complex.
You have the right to object to:
- direct marketing
- processing based on legitimate interests
- processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.
To make an objection to processing, please email hello@sinovi.uk.
How we protect your information
We take a range of organisational and technical measures to protect your information, and to make the applications we build as secure as they can be. We maintain strict physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorised or inappropriate access.
Where appropriate we use industry-standard encryption techniques, including encrypting web traffic using HTTPS.
Where possible we restrict access to secure systems by IP address, and by using username/email and password authentication.
We hold regular security reviews to ensure that our systems and processes remain safe and secure for the protection of your personal data.
We keep software up to date with latest security patches as advised by the vendors of the software.
We use password management software to secure and encrypt credentials you give us, and to ensure our choice and use of passwords is secure.
Where you have registered onto our software applications with a self-chosen password, we ask you not to use that same password on any other systems. You are responsible for the security of your own passwords.
Data transfers outside of the EU
Your personal data may be transfered outside of the EU, as we use suppliers such as Google and Amazon Web Services who are based in the US, but have data centres in the UK and EU. Wherever possible we select data centres in the EU, however it's likely some data is stored in the US.
People under the age of 16
If you are under 16, please ensure that you obtain your parent/guardian's consent, and evidence of that consent, before you provide personal information to us.
